Prompt 1 is the unnoticed essay prompt, yes? I am having difficulty pinning down what exactly you’re considering as “unnoticed.” The essay as a whole is a bit unfocused- the two paragraphs that you have seem to be two separate essays, and I think you’re having some trouble balancing “showing” what you learned vs “telling” us what you learned.

Re: the second essay, like the post above I think this one says a lot more about you as a person. Only suggestion is that I would recommend you to look at some specific aspects of UW’s computer science program that interest you- there are plenty of high ranked CS programs in the nation- what specifically about UW intrigues you? Is it the diverse research they have? Volunteer opportunities relating to CS? Job experience? You’ve done a great job talking about your strengths, now your task is to convince UW that you’re extremely interested in complementing your strengths/interests with UW’s many opportunities. What can UW do for you that in your opinion other universities can’t?

There are some grammar mistakes that I see, but you’re better off asking an English teacher to help you with that.
